Fasnacht Day Strategies

The most important strategy to know is that you can use a Shishkebab with the Friendly Fire perk to heal the robots if they get damaged when marching in the parade. This can save them in a pinch if one is about to be destroyed, which will almost guarantee you the rewards from the best performance tier.

You can prepare to defeat the different enemies that will attack the parade by knowing when and where they will spawn:

• Mega Sloth / Beasts: They will spawn as you approach the Bonfire. The Stingwings and Wolves should be your primary focus.
• Radotads: They will spawn as you reach the kitchen.
• Super Mutants: They will spawn when you reach the center square.

Don’t forget that you can also farm the Fasnacht Day quest by hopping servers. This comes in handy if you want to complete your mask collection with a specific rare mask or want to collect amazing loot and experience points.

Fasnacht Day Rewards

You will be rewarded with the following items for completing the Fasnacht Day quest:

• 150 experience points
• 20 caps
• Random Fasnacht mask
• Random Fasnacht recipe or plan

The mask, recipe, and plan you earn for completing the Fasnacht Day quest will be determined based on your performance when protecting the Protectrons during the Defend the Parade Marchers quest stage. The following tier rewards are taken into account:

• Bad Performance: Only 1 or 2 Robots Survive
• Good Performance: 3 or 4 Robots Survive
• Best Performance: All 5 Bots Survive
